4-1/4 cups (1.1 L) water

2cups (500 ml) granulated sugar

12Earl Grey tea bags

1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice

If frozen longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Earl Grey Sorbet is very good as a summer treat with fresh berries or sliced fresh peaches.
